On March 6, 2017, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') published its notice of initiation and preliminary results of changed circumstances reviews (``CCRs'') of the antidumping duty (``AD'') orders on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, (``solar cells'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') and certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products (``solar products'') from the PRC (Preliminary Results). The Department preliminarily determined that Hanwha Q CELLS (Qidong) Co. Ltd. (``Q CELLS Qidong'') is the successor-in-interest to Hanwha SolarOne (Qidong) Co., Ltd. (``SolarOne Qidong'') for purposes of the AD orders on solar cells and solar products from the PRC and that Hanwha Q CELLS Hong Kong Limited (``Q CELLS Hong Kong'') is the successor-in-interest to Hanwha SolarOne Hong Kong Limited (``SolarOne Hong Kong'') for purposes of the AD order on solar products from the PRC. As such, the Department preliminarily determined that Q CELLS Qidong is entitled to SolarOne Qidong's AD cash deposit rates for purposes of the AD orders on solar cells and solar products from the PRC and Q CELLS Hong Kong is entitled to SolarOne Hong Kong's AD cash deposit rate for purposes of the AD order on solar products from the PRC. We provided interested parties 14 days from the date of publication of the Preliminary Results to submit case briefs or request a hearing. No interested parties submitted case briefs or requested a hearing. For these final results, the Department finds that Q CELLS Qidong is the successor-in-interest to SolarOne Qidong for purposes of the AD orders on solar cells and solar products from the PRC and Q CELLS Hong Kong is the successor-in-interest to SolarOne Hong Kong for purposes of the AD order on solar products from the PRC.
